What should've been 200, courtesy Pollock's blistering start, has been kept to 175. De Lange, Meschede and Hogan were all fantastic in the middle overs. They were also helped by some outstanding fielding in the end overs. Glamorgan conceded just 36 off the last five. In isolation, this is still a good score, considering this is a knockout game. Chasing pressure and all that. However, this is a belter of a surface. Join us shortly for the chase

19.6

MG Hogan to CR Woakes, OUT, 1 run, full toss outside off, he makes room and flays this towards deep point. Woakes had to turn for the second, took a while to turn. The throw was just a touch wide but the keeper did well to gather it and whip the bails off quickly..

19.5

MG Hogan to JS Patel, OUT, No run, superb running catch by Miller at long-on. This was hit really hard by Patel, timed it well and was destined to the ropes until he saw Killer Miller lurking around the corner. Nearly burst through..

19.4

MG Hogan to AD Thomason, OUT, 1 run, ripper of a yorker on middle, this is hit flat, hit straight but an excellent throw from long-on to the keeper's end has done him in. Thomassan was cruising along, perhaps because he thought the throw would be hurled at the shorter end..

M de Lange to AD Thomason, 1 run, another thick edge off a full toss, down to third man again. This time they don't chance a second.

18.5

M de Lange to AD Thomason, No run, swing and a miss. Looked to belt this full toss outside off over the roof at deep midwicket.

18.5

M de Lange to AD Thomason, NO BALL, 4 runs, looks to swing this over long-on, gets a thick outside edge to third man. He was fine there, so that helped in saving two extra runs. Oh, dear. It's a no-ball. Free-hit .

18.4

M de Lange to C de Grandhomme, OUT, No run, pulled straight to deep midwicket. This was banged short, way outside off, he was better off trying to slap this over point. What also didn't help matters was that both feet were in the air and he was completely off balance as he struck that, which meant he couldn't generate the kind of power he would have liked..

18.3

M de Lange to AD Thomason, 1 run, slices this full toss down to third man.

18.2

M de Lange to AD Thomason, No run, cramped for room as he shapes to pull. Surprised by the skiddy bouncer, rolls off the outer half of the bat to cover.

17.5

GG Wagg to C de Grandhomme, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, thick inside edge, short fine had no chance. Not where he intended but it doesn't matter. Wagg, who was fuming earlier in the over, can only have a wry smile on his face..

17.5

GG Wagg to C de Grandhomme, WIDE, 1 run, floated full and down leg, can't get any bat on it despite his best attempt. Rightly called wide.

17.4

GG Wagg to C de Grandhomme, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, hit really hard. No chance for wide long-off even though he was just a few metres away from the ball. Full and straight on middle, he made room and drilled this away.

17.3

GG Wagg to C de Grandhomme, 2 runs, full and straight outside off, belted towards long-off where a misfield gives them a second that shouldn't have been.

17.2

GG Wagg to AD Thomason, 1 run, right into the blockhole, squeezed to short third man.

17.1

GG Wagg to AD Thomason, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, pulled into the gap at wide long-on. Banged in short, he backed away, waited, waited and then gave it a big whack.

MG Hogan to GD Elliott, OUT, No run, walks across the stumps and paddles this full toss to short fine. There was pace on the ball but he didn't get the bat direction right, ballooned it to the man at 45 degrees..

15.5

MG Hogan to C de Grandhomme, 1 run, squeezed down to the man coming in from long-on.

15.4

MG Hogan to C de Grandhomme, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, directs a leg-stump half-volley and this has been tickled to the fine leg boundary. The man there was inside the ring, and he was a mere spectator.

15.3

MG Hogan to GD Elliott, 1 run, right into the blockhole on middle, squeezed to the leg side for an easy single.

15.2

MG Hogan to GD Elliott, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, clean strike, inside-out. Two men converged at cover but this bounced between them and raced to the boundary. He made room, held his shape as this was a slower ball and struck it beautifully.

GG Wagg to GD Elliott, 1 run, lofted cleanly down the ground, long-on hares across to cut that off.

14.4

GG Wagg to C de Grandhomme, 1 run, steps out to flick but misses. The ball rolls off the pad to the off side as they steal the single. The bowler did well to turn back and hurl a throw at the non-striker's end, de Grandhomme dived full stretch just to be safe. May have struggled with a direct hit though.

GG Wagg to GD Elliott, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, this time he hits this to the left of deep backward square leg. Once again walked across the stumps, went back deep into the crease and heaved this away towards cow corner..

14.1

GG Wagg to GD Elliott, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, drags this slower delivery into middle and leg from around the stumps, Elliott is down on one knee as he helps this into the deep backward square leg boundary. He went outside the line of the delivery to create the angle.

AG Salter to GD Elliott, No run, mistimes an attempted lofted hit back to the bowler.

11.1

AG Salter to GD Elliott, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, makes room and belts this tossed up delivery to the cover boundary. Picked his spot superbly. Opened up the off side and crashed it away. Not even a desperate dive by the boundary rider could stop that.

10.5

CAJ Meschede to C de Grandhomme, 1 run, driven firmly on the up to deep extra cover.

10.2

CAJ Meschede to SR Hain, OUT, No run, the decision to walk across to sweep this over short fine has proved costly. This length ball veered back in to miss his slog and hit him in front of middle and off. Alex Wharf was dead certain that the ball would've crashed into the stumps..

9.5

CA Ingram to SR Hain, 1 run, turns this with the angle to midwicket.

9.4

CA Ingram to SR Hain, 1 run, fired into the pads, flicked to short fine leg.

9.3

9.2

CA Ingram to DP Sibley, OUT, No run, tossed up on middle and off, he steps out and heaves this across the line to Miller at wide long-on. He had to run around a fair bit to his right to catch this swirler. Kept his eye on it and then completed it easily. That he was trying to clear the longer boundary didn't help matters either..

9.1

CA Ingram to DP Sibley, No run, steps out and drives firmly, but straight to Wagg at cover.

CAJ Meschede to DP Sibley, 1 run, pulled away towards long-on as they amble across for a single.

8.4

CAJ Meschede to DP Sibley, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, slower length ball outside off, he flatbats this down the ground to beat the diving long-on fielder. David Miller is an excellent fielder but even he couldn't get there despite a full-length dive.

8.3

8.2

8.1

CAJ Meschede to DP Sibley, No run, thick inside edge onto the pad as he looks to fetch this length ball from outside off towards midwicket.

CAJ Meschede to AJ Hose, OUT, No run, that's as easy as eating chips. The slower delivery has done the trick, Donald has taken a dolly at deep midwicket. This was outside off, Hose looked to slog this across the line and got it nowhere near the middle. Donald hardly had to move as he gleefully accepted the catch..

6.4

CAJ Meschede to AJ Hose, No run, back of length outside off, he looks to crash this over cover but is cramped for room. Mistimed to the fielder.

6.3

CAJ Meschede to DP Sibley, 1 run, swung across the line to long-on. Fetched this full-length delivery from way outside off.

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, OUT, No run, would you believe it? Another full toss, and this time he has a wicket of the danger man. Outside off, this was crunched by Pollock and Carlson, at the edge of the ring at cover, took it rather comfortably. Let me tell you, that is sure to sting him for a while. He took it with both palms facing the sky. The kind of height where it could have so easily burst through his hands..

5.4

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, No run, tried to hit this too hard. Juicy full toss just outside off, Pollock looks to clobber this over deep midwicket but played too early.

5.3

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, No run, nails this full delivery straight to mid-off. Was looking to go inside-out but didn't get underneath the delivery.

5.2

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, No run, hit hard but straight to Miller at the edge of the ring at cover.

5.2

5.1

M de Lange to DP Sibley, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, helped along to the fine leg boundary. This is very poor from De Lange. All Sibley had to do was swivel back and use the pace to ease this away.

MG Hogan to EJ Pollock, 2 runs, full and angling into middle and leg, flicked into the gap between deep midwicket and long-on. There's a half-century for Pollock. If this is anything to go by, we're going to be in for a bumper day full of runs..

GG Wagg to EJ Pollock, No run, drills this extra cover drive to the man at the edge of the ring.

3.5

GG Wagg to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, another full toss outside off, this time he's opened the bat face just a little as he splits the gap between short third man and point. This was sliced really hard. Once it beat the infield, that was headed just one way..

3.4

GG Wagg to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, slower delivery and he's fetched this slog from outside off, no chance for wide long-on who was moving to his left. Right into his swinging arc.

3.3

GG Wagg to EJ Pollock, No run, sees the batsman trying to back away and spears in one full and just near the wide line, Pollock leaves anticipating a wide..

3.2

GG Wagg to EJ Pollock, No run, full toss outside off, he gives this a proper whack but can't pierce the packed off side ring. Super stop at backward point.

3.1

GG Wagg to DP Sibley, 1 run, squeezes this full-length delivery to mid-on, they scamper through for a single.

Graham Wagg against his former side. He'll bowl his left-arm seam-ups from around the stumps

2.5

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, 1 run, right into the blockhole on middle, squeezes this out to the off side as they steal a quick single.

2.4

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, crunches this pull, deep square wasn't far from the delivery but it was hit so well that it just raced away on this fast outfield. He also did well to hit this in front of square.

2.3

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, nailed back past the bowler. This is floated full on middle, he cleared his front leg and just dismissed it from his presence. Exhilarating stuff.

2.2

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, just a gentle flick of the wrists and the ball sails over deep square leg. Touch ahead of length on leg stump, he was off balance but managed to time this to perfection.

2.1

M de Lange to EJ Pollock, No run, starts off with a waist-high full toss outside off, Pollock looks to carve this through point but was cramped for room. On the bounce to the wicketkeeper. Apologised to the batsman immediately.

Marchant de Lange has the ball now. 16 wickets in 14 matches at an economy of 8.24 so far this season. There's deep square and fine leg. The two men in the deep. Will he try and bounce him? Let's see.

MG Hogan to DP Sibley, No run, drops this gently to the off side, looks for a single but is sent back.

1.5

1.4

MG Hogan to EJ Pollock, 1 run, muscles this full delivery across the line towards wide long-on.

1.3

MG Hogan to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, gets more elevation than distance, just clears deep midwicket. Another full delivery, this time on off, he was down on one knee as he slogged this into the leg side boundary. Ah, the fearlessness of youth. Did someone say you just see out the first couple of overs?.

1.2

MG Hogan to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, full and straight on middle and he's belted this straight over the bowler's head. Cleared the front leg and hammered this dead straight. Got the elevation despite the bat face turning in his hands. Massive, massive hit.

1.1

MG Hogan to EJ Pollock, No run, play and a miss. Angles this length ball across the left-hander who looks to cut. Ball keeps a touch low to beat the inside-edge.

CA Ingram to EJ Pollock, 1 run, pushed through quicker, just outside off, dabbed towards point for a quick single.

0.5

CA Ingram to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, swept over cow corner. Looped up outside off, he got down on one knee and hit this into the gap between deep square leg and long on. Dragged it just a little, but no harm really..

0.4

CA Ingram to EJ Pollock, No run, missed out on a scoring opportunity. Full outside off, he drills this straight to extra cover.

0.3

CA Ingram to EJ Pollock, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, there's the first six. Aggression immediately. Wrong'un pitched outside leg, Pollock is down on one knee as he plays a ferocious sweep that carries all the way over deep square leg.

0.2

CA Ingram to EJ Pollock, No run, skiddy delivery at length on leg stump, hit on the pad as he looks to whip this away. Big appeal but this was sliding down leg..

0.1

CA Ingram to EJ Pollock, No run, nicely tossed up outside off, he looks to slog this over mid-off but doesn't get underneath the delivery. Mistimes to the fielder..

11am The sun's out, so are the players. Ed Pollock takes strike. Let's go. He's made a mark in the eight matches he's played. Irrespective of how he goes today, he's already left an imprint. Guess what? Colin Ingram will start with his legspin. Long-off in place straightaway. Let's go.

10.50am Still 10 minutes from the start. As good a time as any to read about John Wright and his tryst with Derbyshire. How an abysmal T20 side statistically - Twice in 14-game seasons they have won only a single match. In the 14 seasons of English domestic T20 before this year, Derbyshire made the quarter-finals once. In the last decade they have a 25% win record in their completed games - have turned the corner.

10.30am Rudoplh and Grant Elliott are out to toss. Glamorgan opt to bowl.

10.10am There's plenty to read as we build up to the big day. George Dobell on what has gone into the rejuvenation of the Birmingham Bears. Have you wondered just how the current season's become one of plunder? Tim Wigmore with a fascinating statistical insight

10.00am It's finals day at the Natwest T20 blast. Fourteen games in and it all boils down to this. Birmingham v Glamorgan to kick off what should be an exciting day. Nottinghamshire and Hampshire will be in action in the second semi-final. The weather, I'm told, is absolutely gorgeous. Barbecue, beer, fancy dresses, music and of course a little bit of cricket. Blends well with the weekend, doesn't it?

After relying heavily on the old guard: Rikki Clarke, William Porterfield and Ian Bell, Birmingham would be pleased to see some of the younger players such as Dominic Sibley, Adam Hose and Ed Pollock take centrestage. The record-breaking chase of 205 in the quarter-final against Surrey was ample proof. Can the 2014 winners put themselves in line for a second title?

Glamorgan, meanwhile, have enjoyed a terrific season too. Such a shame that their home fans haven't seen much of them in action because of the weather. Their South African recruits have been the driving force. Colin Ingram leads the run charts (451 runs) while Jacques Rudoph has been steady and consistent. David Miller's inclusion adds plenty of muscle to a robust top-order. Marchant de Lange has been super impressive with the ball. On paper, this is more than an even contest therefore.

Right, folks. Hop over to our coverage of the second semi-final. Gnasher will be with you for that one. Cheers!

Grant Elliott to Jacques Rudolph: "I just want to say what a fantastic career. It's always sad when someone finishes but I've enjoyed watching and playing with him - a gentleman of the game. The experience he's given to players in England and hats off to you, Jacques."

What a thriller! Have to wonder if Rudolph's run-out was the turning point. Thomasan deserves plenty of credit for what, to me, is the game-changer. They made 175 look much more than that courtesy some brilliant bowling from a 23-year old Olly Stone. Bowled consistently over 145 clicks to begin with, but was clever enough to mix things up towards the end. No praise is enough for Jeetan Patel, who brought all his experince to the fore. Restricted runs in the middle, escalated the asking rate and then got the batsmen to manufacture shots. Looking back, you have to say Pollock's turbocharge gave Birmingham the platform from where they could've looked for 200. A few weeks ago, Pollock was such a peripheral part of Birmingham's plans that the club's director of sport, Ashley Giles, admits he had never seen him play. In a crunch game, he made the entire country sit up and take note.In the end, they just managed to pull through despite a wobbly final over from Chris Woakes. They can now put their feet up and get some well-deserved rest to gear up for the final.

19.4

CR Woakes to AG Salter, OUT, No run, taken brilliantly at long-off. Just inches before the ropes. What drama, what effort. He gave it his all. This was floated full on middle, he backed away and belted this straight back over. This swirled around for a long, long time. The ropes were lurking behind the two men underneath that. It wouldn't have been pretty as long-on and long-off, who bumped into each other, would have put that down. In the end, Hose just about managed to cling on. .

19.3

CR Woakes to AG Salter, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, clobbered over deep backward square leg. Too short, sitting up nicely as he swivelled back and muscled this deep into the stands at deep midwicket. The change of pace meant there was enough time to line himself up for the big monty.

19.2

CR Woakes to AG Salter, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, carved away into the deep extra cover boundary. This time he looked to go over long-off but ended up slicing it as the bat face turned in his hand. Lot squarer than he hoped. Great effort in the deep.

19.1

CR Woakes to AG Salter, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, sliced away over third man. Not where he intended but it doesn't matter. Looked to go over cover, this had the width. They're just about alive and breathing still.

OP Stone to M de Lange, OUT, No run, slower, slower, slower, slower, bouncer and then a full, straight ball on off stump. He looked to back away and go over cover, beaten by pace as the off stump takes a walk. Superb from the 23-year old..

18.5

OP Stone to M de Lange, 2 runs, two men converging on it, but it lands safe. Looked to flatbat this pull from way outside off. Midwicket and long-on were going towards the ball, but this one plonked in between.

18.4

OP Stone to AG Salter, 1 run, dropped! Elliott palms this over at extra cover. Went for it one-handed. May have not timed his jump well. This was hit well, though. Elliott took the pace off.

18.3

OP Stone to AG Salter, 2 runs, lofted down the ground, on the bounce to long-on. Had to force the pace as this was a slower delivery. Third one in a row.

18.2

OP Stone to M de Lange, 1 run, looks to flay this over cover, mistimes it to the man at the edge of the ring.

18.1

OP Stone to M de Lange, No run, play and a miss. Changes his pace so well on this one, legcutter outside off, de Lange had swung through even before the ball arrived. On the bounce to the keeper.

AD Thomason to M de Lange, 1 run, squeezes this full delivery to long-off.

16.5

AD Thomason to M de Lange, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, steps out and heaves this short ball into the deep square leg boundary. Waited just a wee bit as this angled in and helped this along.

16.4

AD Thomason to M de Lange, No run, swing and a miss. Looked to heave this over midwicket but played too early. Excellent change of pace.

16.3

AD Thomason to AG Salter, 1 run, works a full delivery on middle and leg towards deep midwicket.

16.2

AD Thomason to CAJ Meschede, OUT, No run, sashays down the pitch and swings this over the bowler's head but the bat face turned in his hand, which meant there was not much power. More elevation than distance but for large parts, it looked like the ball would fall in no man's land. That the catch was possible is because of Hain's athleticism. Ran across a long way from long-on before sliding over make it look ridiculously easy.

16.1

AD Thomason to AG Salter, 1 run, excellent slower ball on the stumps, can only push this as far as midwicket as they scamper a run. This won't do.

16.1

AD Thomason to AG Salter, WIDE, 1 run, slower and fuller on middle and leg, looks to tickle it fine but this one missed the pad. Rightly called wide.

CR Woakes to AG Salter, No run, tucks him up for room by angling in a length ball towards the body from wide of the crease, defended.

15.3

CR Woakes to GG Wagg, OUT, No run, backs away and slaps this short of length delivery straight to Elliott at mid-off. Struck well but didn't get the elevation. Cramped for room slightly, it was a leg-cutter so he had to force the pace as well..

AD Thomason to CAJ Meschede, No run, slower delivery that comes back in from off stump, pushed back to the bowler sho stops it on his followthrough.

14.5

AD Thomason to GG Wagg, 1 run, gets an inside edge to short fine, off the mark.

14.4

AD Thomason to GG Wagg, OUT, No run, great piece of fielding, special effort. Could that be the game-changer? Rudolph is shell shocked. This length ball was eased back down the pitch, the bowler had the presence of mind to flick the ball under-arm at the bowler's end even as Rudolph was caught napping. He perhaps didn't expect this. Excellent game awareness from the bowler. Moments of inspiration like this can change the course of the match, maybe even the tournament. Could that be the difference between victory and defeat for Glamorgan?.

AD Thomason to JA Rudolph, No run, reverse sweep attempt to a full ball outside off, beaten. Third man was inside the ring, so the intent was right. Just that the length didn't allow him to manufacture the stroke.

14.1

AD Thomason to JA Rudolph, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, helps this short ball into the deep backward square leg boundary. Short and sitting up nicely for him to put that away. The change of pace gave him enough time to pick his spot.

OP Stone to GG Wagg, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, right into the slot and he's heaved this over long-on. Lot of pace but this was a half-volley. He was ready, deep inside the crease. Came down on the ball nicely, clubbed like a golfer. Into the top tier.

11.5

OP Stone to GG Wagg, 2 runs, misfield at cover, this was hit really hard. They're back for two as sweeper cover comes around.

11.4

OP Stone to GG Wagg, No run, cuts, but can't find the gap. Straight to point. Backed away and slapped it straight to the man.

11.3

OP Stone to JA Rudolph, 1 run, dabs this towards cover as they take a quick single.

11.2

OP Stone to JA Rudolph, 2 runs, whips this into the gap at deep backward square leg. Tremendous work by Hoss, diving around full stretch to cut that off. Remember, he was running around from deep midwicket. Full marks for the effort. His elbow was in contact with the ball when he touched the advertising triangle? Super, super effort. One of the angles is a little inconclusive. Not a boundary in the end.

JS Patel to JA Rudolph, No run, mistimes a forceful hit back to the bowler.

9.5

JS Patel to JA Rudolph, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, in his swinging arc and he's clobbered this over wide long-on. Too full, too much flight. He got underneath the flight and belted this. Right out of the screws.

9.4

JS Patel to GG Wagg, 1 run, steps out and nurdles this flatter delivery on middle to square leg.

9.3

JS Patel to JA Rudolph, 1 run, drifting into middle and leg, worked to short fine leg. Third umpire has a look, but he was well inside. Direct hit meant they had to go up and check the replay. The fielders weren't all that excited.

9.2

JS Patel to GG Wagg, 1 run, looks to work this to the leg side but this one pitched on length and skidded on to hit the pad. Impact outside off.

9.1

JS Patel to GG Wagg, No run, tossed up outside off, he lunges forward and blocks.

GD Elliott to CB Cooke, OUT, No run, floated on middle and leg, and he's chipped this a little too far. Sibley takes a simple catch coming in from deep midwicket. Timed this a little too well. Knuckle ball that was dying on him, looks like he attempted to simply bunt this into the gap for two, not to be..

GD Elliott to JA Rudolph, No run, driven straight to cover. Looked to go over the top but couldn't get the elevation as he toe-ended it.

8.3

GD Elliott to CB Cooke, 1 run, lofted over the infield to long-on.

8.2

GD Elliott to CB Cooke, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, width on offer and he clubs this into the wide long-off boundary. Made room to free his arms and whacked it. The boundary there is not the longest. Long-off never had a chance.

8.1

GD Elliott to JA Rudolph, 1 run, dabs this length ball to the off side as they scamper a quick single.

OP Stone to KS Carlson, OUT, No run, what was he trying to do? Hitting on the up to a length ball delivery that rose. No position to hit through cover, just ended up getting a thick edge through to the wicketkeeper. Wrong choice of stroke and he's paid the price. Glamorgan in tatters now.

5.4

OP Stone to JA Rudolph, 1 run, makes room and uses pace of the bowler again to direct this away-going length ball wide of the diving point fielder.

5.3

OP Stone to KS Carlson, 1 run, this time he opens the face of the bat nicely to ease this to the left of point for a quick single.

AD Thomason to DA Miller, OUT, No run, nicked and gone. Angled full across the left-hander, deviated just a wee bit off the seam to take the outside edge as he went for a flashy drive. Lovely from the bowler. Superb seam position. David 'Killer' Miller is out without scoring. Big moment in the match, potentially.

OP Stone to JA Rudolph, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, makes room and uses the pace of the bowler to steer this to the square third man boundary. All he had to do was lend direction because it was bowled over 90 miles an hour.

3.5

OP Stone to JA Rudolph, No run, driven straight to extra cover. No chance of a single.

OP Stone to CA Ingram, OUT, No run, unbelievable from Elliott. This is a catch you wouldn't mind watching over and over again. Ingram heaves this length ball from outside off towards the leg side. Elliott at mid-on runs spontaneously to his left. Fact that he took a couple of steps even as the shot was it helped. Even then this was far from easy. This kept going away from him but he hared to his left, all along having his eyes on the ball, and just as it descended, he dived full length forward and took this inches off the ground. Wow.

CR Woakes to AHT Donald, OUT, No run, this is a sensational catch running to his left at deep midwicket. This was a short-arm jab which he nailed to the leg side. Hain, running to his left from deep square, was on the move when he got his hands. But the momentum sideways resulted in the ball bobbling out. But even as he slipped while trying to dive low, he somehow managed to regain composure and pouch this on the second attempt..
